It is unknown whether any of the families have retained a Missouri injury lawyer to file any lawsuit or make any insurance claims. If and when a Missouri personal injury lawsuit or a Missouri wrongful death lawsuit is filed, we will update this posting with additional information regarding this horrible incident.
